Idents and Monitors (Split Label Ports)

In Configure Palette mode, split label ports are displayed on the canvas as:

  • Paired idents (Talk capability (red)) and monitors (Listen capability (green).

    Note: You can configure the colors from Settings > General > Show monitor in green.

  • It is possible to grant Talk and Listen capability to idents / ‘Talk’ keys in some user panels (for example, pushbutton V-Series panels) in EHX.

However, idents are always treated as Talk only in Dynam-EC.

  • Four-wires.

You can assign the ident and monitor parts of a split label as separate items to a conference, IFB or Port Viewer.

The ident is added as a Talk only member. The monitor is added as a Listen only member.

If you assign a split label as a four-wire to a conference, it is added as separate Talk only and Listen only members.

If you assign a split label as a four-wire to a Port Viewer, the split label is listed as both:

  • A normal four-wire in the membership list.

  • An ident and a monitor at the top of the viewer.

Dragging away either the ident or the monitor from the Port Viewer is equivalent to turning off either the Talk or Listen button on the four-wire (the Talk or Listen button on the four-wire is no longer displayed.

Turning off a Talk / Listen button on the four-wire will also result in the ident / monitor disappearing from the top of the Port Viewer.

If you click the space where the Talk or Listen button was displayed on the four-wire:

  • The ident or monitor is restored to the top of the Port Viewer.

  • The Talk or Listen button reappears on the four-wire in the membership list.

If you drag and drop a split label as a four-wire into an available / unassigned fixed Port Viewer, then it is displayed in the same way as any other four-wire.
